Chapter 751: Don't... Call Me a Stutterer

"Little Zhang, go check the vehicles. Don't let them break down at the critical moment!"

"Little Zeng, go see if anything's been left behind!"

"Xiao Chao... damn it..."

Xue Nan directed the survivors in the convoy, bustling around in a whirl.

They were about to move.

Even a torn piece of cloth, no one would be willing to throw away.

Therefore, every survivor had to pack their own belongings while also being directed by Xue Nan to handle the convoy's work.

No one would slack off, and no one dared to slack off.

Those who refused to follow orders, and those who weren't suited for collective life, had long since fallen behind during the migration process.

The final cleanup work of Xi City didn't require Chen Ye and the others to continue participating. After all, the strongest Anomaly in Xi City had already been dealt with by them.

There was no need to trouble them with the remaining cleanup work.

When the announcement came that they could move to Xi City, the entire base erupted.

Although Xi City was one hundred percent no longer the tourism city that had once been somewhat famous online, everyone was still very excited.

At the mere mention of Xi City, everyone's eyes lit up.

Even though Hou Junji had said they wouldn't move until tomorrow.

Many convoys had already started moving, unable to wait any longer.

Those packing tents packed tents.

Those counting supplies counted supplies.

Anyway, the atmosphere throughout the base was more festive than New Year.

When people talked, they couldn't help but fantasize about what it would be like once they got to Xi City.

Even while speaking, the corners of their mouths would unconsciously curve upward.

The convoys that had just arrived, upon hearing that the base was about to move into a city, also appeared very happy.

Although they didn't have their own territory, they were still very happy.

They had been drawn here by Elder Hou's Message Delivery by Flying Bird.

Before coming, they had been quite anxious, since no one knew what the situation here was really like.

Unexpectedly, after arriving, they heard that these people had actually taken down a city.

Although it was a small city, everyone was still very happy.

Moreover, there would likely be no shortage of convoys arriving later.

Previously, when Hou Junji sent messages by flying bird, he only said that the base was cleaning up the Anomalies in Xi City.

But after defeating Number Two, Elder Hou Junji's messages by flying bird explicitly stated that they had already cleared an entire city.

"Currently cleaning" and "cleaned" were two completely different concepts.

The information contained in the two, in terms of attractiveness to migrating convoys, could not be mentioned in the same breath.

The convoys that received the flying bird messages, upon learning that people here could actually return to city life.

No matter how doubtful everyone might be, regardless, they would definitely come to take a look.

Very likely, after some time, Xi City would usher in an explosive period.

An explosive period of skyrocketing population.

As long as those migrating convoys received the news, as long as they came to take a look...

As long as Xi City truly became a human town.

By then, the people coming would surely be endless.

Although the legendary Oasis made people yearn for it, Xi City was something that truly existed.

Those newly arrived convoys at the base all wore excited expressions.

Although they hadn't participated in the cleanup work of Xi City.

The base didn't harbor any rejecting attitude toward them either.

After all, Xi City was such a large city. Even if the base's population increased tenfold, a hundredfold.

Xi City could still hold them all.

The members of the Fair Convoy were also busy with their own matters.

Captain Chu Che, at this moment, was in his own tent, recording the matters of Xu Wan and Number Two in his captain's notebook.

Especially Number Two. If not for Chen Ye advancing to Sequence 4 at the critical moment.

If not for Cha Wu appearing at the critical moment with the Ghost-Suppressing Tower.

If not for Chen Ye finally using that strange blade to devour Number Two, everyone present would likely have become flower fertilizer.

Iron Lion had already been taken back by Bald Old Li for proper care.

Based on Iron Lion's current recovery speed, it would probably take another month for complete recovery.

Chen Ye and the others had also gone to check on Iron Lion's recovery.

Bald Old Li had placed Iron Lion's head on the bed, with the body part covered by black cloth. Apart from himself and the superhumans in the convoy, it was nearly impossible for other survivors to get close to Iron Lion.

Ding Dong, this woman, seemed to have no changes from before, merely quietly having several pots of Ideal Grain Seeds moved into the truck bed of the Panel Van.

Tomorrow morning they would be moving. Anything could be left behind, but these Ideal Grain Seeds absolutely could not be forgotten.

Gong Yong, with his rear end sticking out, was helping Chen Ye repair the Monster Pickup Truck.

Clearly, Da Yong was dead set this time on fixing Chen Ye's Monster Pickup Truck, and then letting that one-eyed snob who looks down on people know just what Da Yong is capable of.

Sun Xixi was still nowhere to be found.

It was likely that this woman, having nearly died at Number Two's hands this time, had been greatly shaken.

She had thought Sequence 4 was about enough to protect herself.

Unexpectedly, in the face of such an overwhelmingly powerful Anomaly, Sequence 4 was merely a single move.

Therefore, after barely recovering, this woman threw herself back into her frenzied cultivation.

Xu Lina was the same as always, seeming no different from before.

But only Xu Lina herself knew that when she learned Chen Ye's aura had vanished, this woman had nearly broken down.

Now it seemed she had no other changes, except appearing even more like Chen Ye's shadow.

The seaside.

The bonfire let out soft crackling pops.

The sound of the bonfire mixed with the sound of the waves, making one's spirit very relaxed.

Chen Ye, Dantai Bie, and Chen Hao sat in beach chairs, feeling the sea breeze and chatting.

Chen Hao's injuries had mostly healed. Apart from looking like someone just recovering from a serious illness, with a somewhat pale complexion, there was nothing else unusual about her.

"Damn, Yezi, you're really not being a good friend. Such an important matter, and you didn't let me participate!"

After Dantai Bie woke up, upon learning about the battle everyone had with Xu Wan and Number Two, he expressed his strong dissatisfaction.

Regarding the matter of Chen Ye knocking him unconscious, he also expressed strong protest.

Just then, Xu Lina swayed her willow-branch-like slender waist, bringing several cans of beer over with a gust of fragrant wind.

Chen Ye took them and gave one each to Chen Hao and Dantai Bie.

Xu Lina swayed away like a willow branch. Throughout the entire process, Chen Hao and Dantai Bie didn't glance at Xu Lina even once.

"With the situation you were in at that time, would we dare let you participate?"

After taking a sip of beer, Chen Hao continued: "Hey, you kid, do you still think Anomalies are divided into good and bad?"

Dantai Bie's expression turned odd.

Chen Ye was also briefly stunned, then said seriously: "You used to think Anomalies were divided into good and bad too?"

Chen Hao's expression also turned serious. She gripped the beer in her hand but didn't drink, merely watching Dantai Bie.

Dantai Bie thought seriously for a moment before saying: "No, I wasn't like this before. I know Anomalies cannot coexist with humans! And I firmly believed in this!"

"But after meeting Xu Wan, I think Anomalies might... might also have good ones!"

Chen Ye's expression truly changed this time.

He had long guessed that Xu Wan had the ability to change a person's cognition, and Xu Wan herself had personally said so.

But he hadn't expected her ability to be so terrifying. The person had already left, yet the ability was still taking effect.

"Are you serious?"

Dantai Bie glanced at Chen Ye's expression and sighed: "I'm serious! I really do now think Anomalies might truly have good and bad ones."

"Yezi, Xu Wan never killed a single one of us from start to finish!"

"Even though she said she'd make you... you ugly pieces of trash... into flower fertilizer, she never actually did anything, right!"

"From beginning to end, all of you were the ones who attacked her first!"

"Moreover, I heard you say that during your battle with Xu Wan, she mainly focused on passive defense!"

Chen Ye pressed his hand to his forehead: "Dantai Bie, you're finished!"

Dantai Bie opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end didn't know how to put it.

"Tell me, what did you feel at that time?"

Chen Ye continued asking.

Dantai Bie thought for a moment, then said: "When I first saw Xu Wan, I felt this person was a good person..."

"At least better than ordinary Anomalies, right? Her every word and action, though harsh, really seemed human!"

Sensing Chen Ye's odd gaze, Dantai Bie couldn't help but explain.

Chen Ye didn't interrupt Dantai Bie's words, merely listening quietly.

"Although I didn't spend much time with her, I really feel this person has her own thoughts. She might be just like us, just a different form of life!"

"And, I really do feel that maybe Anomalies truly do have good ones?"

"Yezi, in our culture, there are also good ghosts, right?"

Chen Ye shook his head: "Ghosts and Anomalies are not the same! These are two different things!"

"What's different? Just like humans and cats and dogs. Humans have good people and bad people. Cats and dogs have good ones and mad ones. Anomalies are the same."

"Moreover... moreover, as long as we can truly confirm that there are good Anomalies, Anomalies that don't harm humans, we can unite them to help us rekindle the fire of civilization!"

"Yezi, why can't Anomalies have good ones!?"

As Dantai Bie spoke, he started getting agitated again.

But Chen Ye's heart was sinking.

This seemingly correct answer was precisely the most bewitching.

Moreover, throughout Dantai Bie's words, he never once treated the other party as an Anomaly, but truly regarded the other party as a human being.

Xu Wan's ability was, to some extent, even more terrifying than Number Two's.

If Xu Wan were truly allowed to stay at the base long enough.

The entire base's population would likely believe she was a good Anomaly.

When that time came...

Just thinking about the consequences made Chen Ye's scalp tingle.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ye pointed at Chen Hao: "This one is the biggest saint. Even she thinks Anomalies can't be good, yet you think Anomalies can be good?"

Chen Ye said to Chen Hao: "Stutterer, you tell him yourself. Are Anomalies divided into good and bad?"

Chen Hao's face instantly flushed red. When did she get another nickname, Stutterer?

But Chen Hao still decided to answer Chen Ye's question: "Anomalies... Anomalies... cannot..."

Chen Ye directly interrupted Chen Hao's words and said to Dantai Bie: "See, even a saint like this knows Anomalies can't coexist with humans, yet you think Anomalies are good!"

Dantai Bie was silent, not speaking.

"I... I... mean... this..."

"But... but... don't call me... Stutterer! One-eyed... One-eyed Guy!"
